We strongly support extension of carbon pricing to the sectors outside ETS. But we are not convinced that inclusion in ETS of the heating and transport sectors are the right way to do this. We would instead prefer introducing carbon taxes on sectors outside ETS. It is a simpler and more straightforward incentive than carbon emission trading.
With carbon tax the level of taxation is known to all actors in the market, and easier for the distributors of fossil fuels to handle than a carbon price varying day by day according to the traded price.
